Hudson County to Begin 18-Month JFK Boulevard Improvement Project

Hudson County will begin a major improvement project along John F. Kennedy Boulevard on Monday, August 24, 2026, aimed at improving safety, accessibility, and the streetscape for pedestrians, motorists, and residents.

The project, led by Zuccaro Inc., will include the installation and improvement of curbs, sidewalks, stamped concrete walkways, ADA-compliant ramps, new traffic signals, and street trees. It will also include milling and paving along the roadway.

Construction is expected to continue for approximately 18 months, with work taking place in phases to minimize disruptions and maintain access for residents, businesses, pedestrians, and motorists.

“JFK Boulevard is an important corridor for residents, businesses, and visitors throughout Hudson County, and these improvements will help make it safer, more accessible, and more welcoming for everyone who uses it,” said Hudson County Executive Craig Guy. “We are proud to invest in the infrastructure that our communities rely on every day, and I thank our partners and residents for their patience and cooperation as this important work moves forward.”

The improvements are part of the Hudson County Vision Zero initiative, which focuses on creating safer, more accessible, and more attractive public spaces throughout the county.

Residents and motorists are advised to use caution in active construction areas, follow posted signage, and allow additional travel time as work progresses. The county said additional updates on construction phases, traffic impacts, and project milestones will be provided as the project moves forward.
